I see that people love it now way more than they did when it came out :fan: 

 

people thought it was just noise back then but then why not? kinda topped that :fan: 

 

 

this love isn't crazy was an instant highlight :clap3: 

take yourself home is cute too

NCT's best sub-unit getting the praise it deserves, we love to see it :alexz:

This Love Isn't Crazy is nice but not one of my faves on the album, Summer Love and TIWTS >>> :katie2:

The other 4 songs are all v cute, Snail was by far my fave on the Benee album :jamming: TYH kinda aged and the EP has better sings :keir:

His best song yet, love everything about it and it saddens me how it got "wasted" for an EP instead of a proper LP that would get more attention. But consider whole In a Dream was great I'm excited for what he will serve next. I already know Easy with Kacey will make the list

I dont agree that this is his best song. Then again his discography is very very strong, so there are no wrong answers :jonny:

Also yeah imma need a full album next year :giraffe: 

Bloom was in my top10 in 2018 and Blue Neighborhood was in my top5 in 2015!

all incredible songs, although i would argue a couple song's on dedicated side b could've taken that spot. 

 

snail :clap3:

Tbh because there are no real stand outs they just keep switching and I felt like including Carly on the list simply :fan:

This Love Isn't Crazy is one of two songs from Dedicated Side B I would want to revisit :clap3:

Man's World poorly mixed cringy I'm A Ruin rehash, I listened like 4 times

TYH amazing

It's just camp, but I love that for her :mandown:

Man's World :clap3: and Troye

Career highlights :clap3:

haven’t used dedicated side B since it’s release month but TLIC is definitely the clear standout iirc, also man’s world is great too :clap3:

Glad more people agree TLIC is a stand out, cause it seems polarizing kii!

On 12/6/2020 at 7:02 PM, 1998tweety said:

Love seeing Troye praise :clap3:Man's World is excellent too, can't wait for the album.

I hope it's better than L+F :fan: 

On 12/6/2020 at 7:02 PM, Madame X said:

thats a... INTERESTING choice for dedicated side b.  respect you for being brave though.

man's world and take yourself home are so good, proud of them for improving so much. something about marina's lyrics just make me laugh lmao.  she is camp tbh, i think a lot of people dont understand that. 

I had no idea TLIC would be so polarizing! It's a fine bop!

 She is VERY camp, but why do so man people act like it's new, just listen to The Family Jewels...

Great choices, although you already know how I feel about snail making its way there...

didnt really care for the rarities and the other songs are MEH to me, but take yourself home is gorgeous

Troye being high key one of the most acclaimed entries on best ofs is an interesting twist :fan:

Troye :WAP:  really enjoyed Dedicated side B but it kinda came and went for me :fan:

It truly did, but I appreciate it for what it is!

Man's World :clap3: amazing track, nice to see classic Marina's back

Mesmerized was cute, but not my favorite unreleased from ha :fan: 

I noticed it's not really a stand out for anyone, but I love it!

22 hours ago, Hug said:

Hot take but I preferred Side B to regular Dedicated :skull: I mean I wasn't crazy over either but highlight for highlight, Side B won for me. The Summer Love mention :keir: definitely my favorite from Side B, and honestly my favorite Carly song now.

Now that's really a hot take, but I get you, cause I felt the same when the album initially dropped. But No Drug Like Me alone destroys side b for me :fan:

Out of the K-Pop, can't believe Loona released something like So What. It sounds so dated tbh. I like the Eyedi song.

Out of the english songs, Haven't listened to MC's outtakes yet.  I gave up on Marina long ago but taking a peek at Man's World now at least it isn't as embarrassing as her recent edm songs. 

 

I couldn't believe it either, but I guess I just forced myself to like it and it... clicked? But I'd rather they distant themselves from "noise".

Snail :clap3:

 

I kinda like Man's World but I still get slightly boring L&F vibes from it :dancehall: Hopefully she serves another Oh No! or Hollywood in her next release

She definitely is in the right spot with the songwriting to serve another Hollywood so I'm hopeful!

take yourself home really grew on me, it's one of the best on his EP

I liked STUD more for some time, but came back to TYH in the end!

NCT Dream serving quality compare to the unit :clap3:Only the superior unit!

 

Yes APRL mini is so good. I've never been a fan of them but Da Capo mini prove me wrong wow :jonny5:

 

This Love isn't Crazy, Mesmerized, Take Yourself Home :clap3: Man's World is freat but the lyrics is kinda cringy at some parts nnn

Truly they are and it seems to be the most overlooked one :jonny2:

Omg really? the Ruby is also really nice, but Da Capo absolutely stomps!

Finally, there is another one I recognize. Kudos to This Love Isn't Crazy!

This Love Isn't Crazy :heart: You chose the right song because SL & TIWTS are actually my bottom 2 from Side B :fan: And then with BENEE I prefer Plain/Same Effect over Snail :gaycat3: Take Yourself Home YUP it's a knock & likely in his overall top 10 :sats::sats::sats:

King of taste! I feel like SNAIL is more... instant/direct, Plain and Same Effect are really laid back, but I love them too

SIS I think your top 3 for Dedicated Side B are in my top 5 for the album too. Can you believe that some people still cling to the thought of Side B > Side A? Embarrassing

 

I was so nervous about the mastering on the song with the Youtube version of the song which I played like 5 times before starting to stream it. It's really not that bad on streaming (at least Spotify) but I still get what you mean.

I had short phase of thinking B > A too, but thankfully it went away as soon as I clicked play on No Drug Like Me again :mandown:

It was THE WORST on youtube, but it's still not perfect nn

I mean Supalonely is a bop but I think there were better songs on her EP last year (Glitter and Soaked especially)

TYH is good but Easy and IAD (song) are better imo!

Didn't listen to that Mariah project tbh :-$

It is.. fine, but idk maybe tik tok ruined it for me.

I love the whole EP really!

I thought it was great for what it is - a collection of outtakes through the years

Marina getting some acclaim again warms my heart yup

When Why Not dropped and I heard the chorus for the first time I was like... erm. :mandown: It grew too, but they better really REALLY serve next time

 

Period!

TYH certainly did not age, but the EP is just as good :fan: 

 

IDGI that hyper Why Not stanning from some, cause it's still really far from top tier LOONA material, even as OT12

I'm kinda surprised you stan Troye? His beginning were very... bland tumblr pop boy for me, I enjoyed it but it was never top tier anything! He definitely grows tho

Thank you for all the comments, I'm a bit busier today but I will try to visit all your threads!

Today 5 more KPOP tracks :fan: 

Posted

Wonho really left Monsta X and outdid them with first release kii! Super catchy tune and a proof that you can stop cehcking for Monsta without Wonho

 

 

Czk8izu.jpg

 

I wasn't sure of it at first, but now I can easily say this is the best b-side on [#] and one of their best tracks as OT12 overall. Obviously wouldn't work as a title, but LOONA are rather known for killer b-sides.

 

 

TAX7wQx.jpg

 

This is quite possibly their best song... ever? I'm a huge city-pop sucker and its revival in K-pop recently gives me that buzz. Never expected TWICE to touch this genre, but their voices work great with it.

 

 

sd6X1mm.jpg

 

KAI's debut mini dropped very recently and I had no expectations for it, but he pleasantly surprised me and the project jumped high on my 2020 list just after first 2 listens. It's very TAEMIN in the best way possible. Ride Or Die is obviously a clear highlight.

 

 

7YyQBMz.jpg

 

Got properly into TXT this year after randomly hearing their b-side which I won't mention yet, cause it's higher on this list :fan: But whole ETERNITY mini is one of my favorite, most cohesive K-pop projects this year and CYSM is its great title choice!

i was TORN in between say something and i cant stop me for my list, won't spoil what i chose though.  i love the city pop trend and you are right that we have to crown queen yukika for bringing it back.

 

 

Posted

Number 1 > Yes I Am :-* both are classiques tho

the TXT EP was cute, I liked Fairy Of Shampoo the most

Posted

Say Something definitely is a major highlight of this album that I have yet to love compared to their previous efforts... :noparty:

Posted

idk the wonho and he's too ugly for me to listen to. but the other 4 songs are sooo good. twice really devoured that yukika reject and ride or die gives me chills everytime that breakdown comes on at the end.

Posted

I just listened to Wonho's project for the first time yesterday (cute but Kai outsold) and Open Mind is a nice Tove Lo'd bop :eli: Also he's really hot huh
Oh (Yes I Am) is pleasant, but the B-sides from # aren't super memorable to me honestly
Say Something future Grammy winner I fear :clap3:
Ride Or Die is great :WAP:

Posted

Can't You See Me :jonny5: the Eternity mini album is a masterpiece, TXT really did THAT this year :alexz:

Posted

CYSM excellent absolutely. ? Say Something also one of the best on Eyes Wide Open (and same @ me not expecting them to touch the genre, but they did a lot of things I didn't expect with that album. Was very pleasantly surprised. ?)

 

I listened to Wonho's music earlier in the year, and I remember thinking it was good but then never revisiting. :skull: Something to add to a to-do list I suppose.

Posted

CYSM? is good but my least favorite on the mini but then again the whole project is flawless, happy that the b-side is higher

 

U2WzwYR.gif

 

Say Something and Oh (Yes I Am) 10/10s easily, some of their best bsides :jonny5: Open Mind and Ride Or Die are v cute

Posted

Say Something absolute collapse :WAP: Oh (Yes I Am) also very cute song

Posted

Yasss Wonho! Pan king served so hard but I guess we should've expected it huh? Monsta X's new song Love Killa is a vibe too; even though I miss Wonho in the group I guess it all turned out okay cause we're getting double the bops. Kai served too no surprise there. CYSM is nice...she isn't my fav from the EP (Fairy Shampoo is excellent and one of my favs from the whole year), but it's still a bop.
